Hide Redirection Plugin from Editors
Agencies often struggle with Redirection because of clients creating redirect loops. Here is how to fix it.
The Problem with Redirection for Clients
While Redirection is a powerful tool, it often presents too many options to the end-user. Clients logging in to manage their site are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of menu items and settings. This leads to:
- Confusion about where to go to perform simple tasks.
- "I broke the site" support tickets.
- A perception that WordPress is "clunky" or "hard to use".
The Manual Way (Hard)
You could try to use custom code in `functions.php` to hide these menus based on user roles. This requires maintaining code snippets, updating them when the plugin changes, and risking breaking the backend if you make a syntax error.
The Client Calm Way (Easy)
The Redirection plugin is fantastic for SEO migrations, terrible when clients have access. One wrong redirect can take down the entire site. Keep it admin-only and avoid the 3am 'site is broken' calls.
With Client Calm, you just:
- Install the plugin.
- Go to the Menu Manager.
- Toggle off the Redirection menus you want to hide.
It's that simple. No code, no maintenance.
